Profiles in Courage by John F. Kennedy, Harper & Brothers, 1956, First Edition BOOK CLUB EDITION. This copy has the picture of President Kennedy on the rear cover by Hank Walker. On The Cover are the words "Decisive Moments in The Lives of Celebrated Americans." In 1954-1955, Senator Kennedy's active role in the affairs of the nation was interrupted for the better part of a year by his convalescence from an operation to correct a disability incurred as skipper of a World War II torpedo boat. He used his "idle" hours to rediscover, and do intensive research on, the courage and patriotism of a handful of Americans who revealed a special sort of greatness. This Book was the result. A Powerful and Moving Novel!

In Puppet Mania!, a master of the art brings kids thirteen original projects they can make on their own, primarily using everyday household materials. Many of the projects the author includes here are for puppets he himself designed and created as a kid. There's Sock Puppy, Banana Buddy, Running Rabbit and a gaggle of other endearing creatures. Aside from explicit directions, Kennedy provides construction tips and troubleshooting advice. Puppet Mania! is more than just a project book: It also gives kids the know-how they need to turn their creations into characters--lip synching, body movements, eye contact and movement, and, most important, imagination. To that end, Kennedy kick-starts readers' creativity with a character worksheet that has room to enter the character's name, favorite phrase, hobbies, and physical characteristics. With directions for customizing their puppets and tips for maneuvering them believably, kids will want to get started in no time!
